Today saw the inaugural bigfoodiemama "fun" run, or the Larathon as Transformation Tracey christened it. We met at 11.45 at a local football pitch, warmed up in the 12 degree heat and set off along the country roads in our KOK t shirts, as admission to my fun run involved a strict dress code. GASP had advised me that there was a "couple of hills" on the route, but apparently hills are totally different to "humps and bumps" of which there were quite a few ! Now some of the Krill Oil Krazies had the lovely experience of the tummy bug during the week so only 8 ran, of which a couple were still delicate. The heat did not help the dehydration and there were a few wee walkies, where we should have been running, but we completed 8.3 km in total, so were delighted with ourselves. Then it was back to my house for the lunch...oh yes ! The KOK's know how to do lunch. Everyone brought along something , which when added together turned into a feast of both savoury and sweet and, with delight, we attacked the buffet and ate our fill. Twinkletoes and her plaster of Paris joined us in her KOK t shirt as did Mighty Martha and the crack was 90. The conversation got round to the fact ,that now we were running longer distances, what would we do if we required a pee. I cited Paula Radcliffe, an athlete comparable to ourselves, and the fact that she pees while still running. This was met with disdain, but another KOK pointed out that the reason running leggings are black is partially for this reason. Another member suggested we should not try this out for the first time on a cold night as she felt the steam rising from our bottoms might alert others to our cunning plan.
The arrival of the spring heat brought the conversation round to the fact that we would soon be in our knee length leggings, so the fake tan season was upon us. Kamakaze and Mighty declared they would be bearing their naturally pale legs, whereas the rest of us were keen to never let the public see our milkbottle leggies. Care with tan was advised though by one of the ladies, who had applied Sally Henson tan a bit late before a blind date one evening , only to find the date had a white BMW with cream leather seats...his pride and joy. Our KOK travelled to the restaurant and got out of the car leaving a "crime scene" outline of her thighs on the cream leather in fake tan ! Not the kind of mark anyone likes to make ! The relationship was not to be for lots of other reasons, so luckily only the front seat saw damage and not the back seat...nod, nod, wink wink ! That really would have been a crime. Thankfully my new motor has black seats so I am free to sit where please and explore all it's seats...
